From a quiz in one of my classes:
The story represents some realism because the characters in the story all take on different roles. They are explained by using descriptive words that make it seem as though the characters characteristics are standing out and coming alive. Realism takes place throughout most of the story when people are talking and events are taking place.
Extra credit to anyone who can figure out which work of literature is being described.

. . . it's no better the second time through. It's like that inimitable quotation from Non Campus Mentis: "Many things in history are inevitable when somebody dos something. If we learn abut the coarse [sic] of events we can prevent ourselves from doing it again."
Truer and more universally applicable words were never spoken.
--also, I should never again attempt to type at two in the morning. The typo beasties run rampant.
Is it "Our Town?"
And how much extra credit? ;-)
It sounds like a standard-issue moronic *Gatsby* answer, but I don't think you teach that book.
I'll venture a guess at The Goophered Grapevine by Charles Chestnutt. The part about the "characters characteristics" gave it away!
